Being an Australian, my definition of "large lake" is a little different. If any body of water is bigger than a puddle and deep enough to get your ankles wet, it is a lake. If your knees get wet it is a deep lake. If it takes 2 minutes to walk across it is a wide lake. If it takes yo two minutes to walk across AND your knees get wet, it is a large lake.
If you have a trickle of running water, or water flows down a course occasionally, it is a creek. If you have to jump across flowing water because it is too wide to comfortably step over, it is a river.
Lots of large lakes in Australia; just look at all that wide blue water when you search for "Lake Mungo NSW" in google maps. Problem is it has not had water in it for 10,000 years; no one seems to have told google.
Hahaha, sounds like most of the "Creeks" around the place. The last time they had water would have been around the time Noah was sailing his little yacht around picking up all the animals, except unicorns. Who wants to mop magic manure off the decking after all?
To be fair though. Lake Eire had some water in it a few years ago. And Lake George is a couple of foot deep in places at the moment. The sheep have had to move up a little as it fills.
Lots of large lakes out your way
Yep, that's one excuse I can't turn to - haha!

Bahahaha!
They have the opposite attitude in Newfoundland, where large lakes are considered ponds, and the ocean merely a big pond.
Oh, we have oceans too! The Pacific and the Indian. They kinda surrounded us and are holding a long siege.
But inland water? Nah, who needs that stuff. Just a fish's toilet when it comes down to it.
Don't forget the southern ocean!
Oh yeah. I forget it was renamed a while back.
Hehe
